2 eBike Shops in Adams County, NE
Adams County has 2 directory listings: Clements Bike Shop in Juniata, which the directory files as a bicycle repair shop, and Sharps Cycles in Hastings, which it files as a motorcycle shop. Neither card says it sells electric bikes, so read the category line under each name before you ask about an eBike.
Contact details and the owner's claim link sit on the listing itself. Call first, because a directory card cannot show stock.

Where to ride in Adams County
The Pioneer Spirit Trail is the backbone of riding in Hastings. TrailLink describes a concrete path that weaves through parks, passes schools and homes, and runs past businesses, which makes it useful for errands as well as recreation. The longest connected stretch TrailLink measured, as of 2019, ran nearly 9 miles from Lib Park north through Lake Hastings Park and on toward Prairie Ridge Park.
The city is building more. A May 2026 report from KSNB said the trail was getting nearly 3 miles of additions, with the work half done, and that the finished trail would total 12.5 miles. The new sections reach West E Street, Carter Park, Lincoln Elementary School, and Brickyard Park, and some of the new pavement is 8 to 10 feet wide.
Hastings Parks and Recreation told KSNB it will allow electronic devices on the new stretch, and it asked riders to call out audibly when they pass someone walking or riding a traditional bike. That is the only trail-specific e-bike statement we found from the city.
The city also changed its street rules. Ordinance 4815 took effect on November 25, 2025, as section 50-704 of city code. It bans e-bikes, e-scooters, and hoverboards on sidewalks in the downtown business district, which runs from Fifth Street south to South Street and from Burlington Avenue east to Minnesota Avenue, and you may walk or carry the device there.
The same ordinance bans these vehicles on Second Street between Burlington and Minnesota avenues and on roadways where the speed limit is above 25 miles per hour. It requires a front light and a red rear reflector, sets fines of up to $50 for a first offense, and lets police impound a vehicle. On the Pioneer Spirit Trail, the ordinance asks riders to keep a safe and reasonable speed.
Lake Hastings sits on the connected trail route. We found no city park rules for bikes at the lake, so we describe it only as a place on the trail.
Juniata is a small town in the county, and we found no bike route sourced to it, so the ride guide stays in Hastings.
eBike rules in Nebraska
Nebraska defines three classes of electric bicycle in sections created by LB 138 of 2023. Under § 60-614.02, a Class I bike has two, three, or four wheels, a seat, fully operative pedals, and a motor of no more than 750 watts and one brake horsepower that helps only while you pedal and gives no power above 20 mph. Class II, in § 60-614.03, has the same limits, but its motor may help whether or not you are pedaling. Class III, in § 60-614.04, helps only while you pedal and gives no power above 28 mph. Section 60-618.03 says an electric bicycle means a Class I, Class II, or Class III bike.
Under § 60-611, a bicycle includes an electric bicycle, and § 60-638 defines a motor vehicle as a self-propelled land vehicle other than bicycles, mopeds, and a few other devices. A bike that fits the class definitions is therefore a bicycle under the Nebraska Rules of the Road. Under § 60-6,317, a rider moving slower than traffic keeps as near to the right-hand curb or edge as practicable, with listed exceptions, rides no more than single file on a highway except on paths set aside for bicycles, and has a pedestrian's rights and duties on a sidewalk or in a crosswalk, including yielding to people on foot. Under § 60-6,142, bicycles may use paved shoulders of the state highway system other than the Interstate.
Nebraska's statutes set no statewide path rule and no minimum age for electric bicycles. Under § 60-678, the state and any governmental subdivision may make regulations permitting, prohibiting, or controlling electric bicycles in its jurisdiction, and a person who rides where it is prohibited commits a Class III misdemeanor. Section 60-6,317 also lets a local authority regulate bicycles by ordinance, so each city, natural resources district, park, and agency decides where you can ride. The helmet statute, § 60-6,279, covers motorcycle and moped operators, and the electric bicycle sections we read set no helmet duty, so a helmet is advice here and not a state rule. Read our Nebraska eBike laws guide, then the sign at the trailhead.
